Eyelid Lift:

There are several reasons why your upper eyelids may be drooping. Oftentimes excess skin and tissue act as a weight which closes your eyelids. This is corrected by an upper lid blepharoplasty procedure, wherein the excess tissue is removed. When fully healed a very minimal or unnoticeable scar is all that is seen on the upper eyelid.
